Without Waste Words is first instrumental solo-album by Alexander Glavniy, who is a mastermind of Ukrainian Funeral Doom Death Metal Ceremony AUTUMNIA and well known for his work in MOURNFUL GUST and VAE SOLIS. This album is a journey to unknown place of human mind and soul, where extreme metal meets with immortality of classical music.

They were rejected in September for being more -core than metal. I skimmed through their just released debut, and I'm hearing plenty of -core breakdowns. I will have a more thorough listen when I am able to tonight.

Sad to hear that my band was rejected. As if we're not having enough trouble succeeding in being recognized and appreciated. What do you mean we're not metal enough, sorry i don't get it, cause it has all the necessary ingredients to being metal. Have you actually had the time to listen to the album? Or you automatically rejected it when you took a glance at the genre in description? I don't get what you guys consider metal these days, but for all the stuff i heard over the years, and what bands here pass as metal bands, is really awkward an incomprehensive to me.

Which band is it?

Why is Lillian Axe blacklisted?

There's no specific reason mentioned. It may be that either the releases are not considered valid, or metal.

So I'm just finishing uploading my first release to Bandcamp and I want to make sure it would be ok to submit to archives, just so I don't accidentally get my dumb ass black-listed.

It's a finished product, not a rough mix, has front and back cover art included in the download, and clocks in at 42 minutes long. I do consider it to be a demo rather than a true full-length, but I noted that the submission guidelines for a band with a digital only release stipulate that it needs to be a full-length. Does this mean a digital demo is unacceptable? The difference between a demo and a full-length seems pretty arbitrary a lot of the time. It seems to mostly just come down to what the band considers the release to be. So, does it seem like I am in the clear to submit?

If it's a complete, professional-sounding production, it'll be fine. Make note of that in the "submission notes", and we'll judge it - we use our discretion, but if it's clearly a finished product, then it can be accepted.

the band is called Manubrium. We do only digital releases, not playing live and the album rejected here is found at www.archive.org/details/ManubriumTheStrongholdyou said at the beginning of the year you'll be accepting such bands that tend to make their material through digital meanings. I think our band is pretty metal when you listen to it. It has an ambient sound but the guitar distortion is there and the rhythm and drums. All of it. We're an independent band not signed with any label.

I see that Tim Lambesis's Latest project "Pyrithion" has been blacklisted. I'm guessing this is because before the EP hasn't been released? As of today the EP is officially released and people have been getting the pre orders: https://www.facebook.com/pyrithion .so now can they become un-backlisted?

It is not this site's job/purpose to promote bands.

No band is just rejected on a whim, of course whoever dealt with the submission listened to the music. I checked "The Stronghold" and obvious programming aside, not sure I'd call this metal as per our guidelines. Many purely ambient tracks and the ones that do have some riffing I wouldn't call sufficiently metallic. Some doom/metal moments, but it's very reduced and amateurish. Not that amateurism automatically precludes bands, but this is really pushing it in terms of actual musical structuring. I get more of a mellow electronic/ambient vibe from all of this. The demo sounds more acceptable, though...

I see you submitted it twice, and it was (correctly) rejected for only having a short digital demo out the first time. "The Stronghold" might help in that regard, but it's still pretty short and not at all what we consider professionally-enough recorded/produced for a digital release. So the musical issues left aside, it doesn't qualify release-wise anyway. Sorry.

When a user brings up a band for reconsideration here, it's expected of him or her to provide musical samples from the album(s) he or she considers metal enough or other useful sources to back up this claim. Or at the very least a better worded argument as to why the band should be re-evaluated than "I dunno they're called metal sometimes, their newer album perhaps, look up some songs or something". If that is the best you can do, then that's fine, but don't expect any results.

our band Manubrium and music has absolutely nothing to do with electronics. it's ALL guitars, just to clear that out. we're not professionals neither do we have a studio to make our material. That's it. We'll try elsewhere.

That's hard rock, not metal. Not even that hard at some points, come on, that second track isn't even close to metal. There's no metal guitar riffing - leads/solos, but the guitars pretty much just chug on one note as a simple rhythm. The vocalist is soft too. Compare it to Judas Priest, where there's a bit of simple chugging backing a powerful vocalist, and lots of guitar riffing. On the other hand, compare it to Van Halen, which is riffier hard rock. This isn't at all metal.

Why Cthulhu Rites (Poland) is blacklisted? The band changed the name from Cthulhu Rises (this one is in archive) to Cthulhu Rites and under the newest name has released mcd in this month via Witches Sabbath Records.No doubt it's Black Metal...
